Best case

The 6-foot-1, 204-pound receiver had said earlier in the week his recruitment was down to Nebraska and USC. Plus, his father said last week that his recruitment between USC and Nebraska is closer than most people think.

At the same time, Lewis has an official visit set up for USC on Jan. 27, and, as far as we know, hasn’t been visited by Nebraska during this visiting period.

Like most high-profile recruits who haven’t committed around this time, it’s hard to tell which way the wind is blowing. So with Lewis, there’s nothing close to a guarantee that he’ll move east and join the Huskers.

If he does, he’ll be one of the highest-rated Nebraska commits in modern recruiting history. He would skyrocket Nebraska’s 2017 recruiting class ranking and likely would start immediately.

However, the 247sports Crystal Ball predictions currently lean heavily toward USC. And with the Oregon visit throwing a proverbial wrench into things, and Lewis’ father saying it’s close, this one may come down to the last day.

As far as we know, Coach Williams has not seen Calvin since he reportedly visited the 4-star receiver at his high school the day after Calvin committed to Oregon State. There could be an in-home visit this week from Williams, but who knows?

Predicting where Calvin will end up has become a lost cause, considering the 247sports Crystal Ball predictions gave Nebraska a 100 percent chance to land Calvin before the U.S. Army All-American Game.

Calvin is not a lock, but his commitment wouldn’t be a surprise. It’s possible, but Nebraska also might be having second thoughts about taking him after filling its slot spot with 4-star Lindsey.

Probable case

Bryan Thompson

Thompson is a 3-star wide receiver who visited Nebraska this past weekend.

Relatively new on Nebraska’s radar, Thompson received an offer from Nebraska after Calvin committed to Oregon State.

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound receiver would be the tallest receiver in the 2017 class, which is something Nebraska needs out of its receivers. Even if Calvin commits, Nebraska will be loaded with shorter receivers, and would have to make sure to land a taller target in the 2018 class.

Regardless, Thompson is a former Boise State commit. He’s the No. 61 receiver in the 2017 class and No. 46 recruit out of California. Thompson has officially visited Nebraska and Oregon, so he could make one final visit next weekend.

With one more week to lure Thompson, Nebraska seems to be in a good position. Right now, there’s a better chance Nebraska gets Thompson than Calvin or Lewis.

Worst case

Nebraska does not absolutely need another receiver, but not adding at least one more would not be great for this class.

In 2018, Nebraska’s not going to want to put as much time and effort into recruiting receivers as it did with the 2017 class.

2018 will be about getting linebackers for the 3-4 scheme under new defensive coordinator Bob Diaco, getting defensive backs to replace outgoing seniors Josh Kalu and Chris Jones, and getting a solid running back.

Throw in trying to land a top receiver? That’s a tough task. As it stands, they’re fine with three receivers. But it isn’t the best situation long-term.
